> Allow users to modify logging levels of running topologies.

>
> It really would be great to be able to turn on debug logging for different
> parts of an already running topology, and then turn them off again later. Or
> even better if they could turn it on for just a few workers, so we don't
> flood the logs for a very large topology.
> logback already has the ability to refresh its config periodically so really
> what we needs is some code to generate logback configs on the fly based off
> of the currently desired user settings, and API to modify those dynamically,
> and a way to distribute those configs/settings to the supervisors. I am not
> too concerned about persisting these settings long term. If nimbus goes down
> and they reset back to default, I think that would be OK.
> For the distribution of the configs I think it would be best to setup a
> RESTful web service that is a part of nimbus. logback already supports using
> http to download configs. The service could use the cached logging settings
> for a given topology, or individual worker and the URL of the request to
> generate a logging config on the fly for a specific worker. As for the APIs
> I think a few new thrift calls to nimbus would be good, a command line tool,
> and possibly something on the UI.
